"Because of a scare with one crazy guy with a gun,
the only way to get quick access to the Capitol will
be to carry a gun.
Now that makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?"

Austin lobbyist Brad Shields, declaring his intention to
register to carry a concealed weapon so he can bypass
long security lines at the State Capitol.
Austin American-Statesman, Wed, 6/2/10
Requoted in the Dallas Morning Snooze, 6/6/10.

The above is another example of the irrational relationships
that antis make about people with guns. The crazy guy would
not have qualified for a CHL. People who get CHL's are not
crazy. Apples and oranges.

Here's what may turn out funny:
Brad Shields may just become a 2A advocate once he gets
his CHL and his handgun.

To the posters who don't like what the OP reported
about his entry experience to the Capitol:

Chill my friends.

It sounds like the experience is minimally intrusive.
So what if somone sees you go through the "Staff and CHL"
line? The only people who may hear the CHL questions posed
to you by the troopers are very close to you.

Are these people armed BG's who are going to get the drop on
you and kill you in order to steal your weapon? I think not.

IMHO, I find the paranoia regarding the above process to be
out of sync with any plausible bad outcomes.

It took you more time to type an entry on this thread than the
troopers may take to ask you a question or 2 and fumble some
data into their laptop.
